Method

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the chilli. Cook for 1 min, then add the curry paste, stir and cook for 1 min more. Dissolve the stock cube in a large jug in 700ml boiling water, then pour into the pan and stir to combine. Tip in the coconut milk and bring to the boil.

  2. Add the fish sauce and a little seasoning. Toss in the noodles and cook for a further 3-4 mins until softening. Squeeze in the lime juice, add the prawns and cook through until warm, about 2-3 mins. Scatter over some of the coriander.

  3. Serve in bowls with the remaining coriander and lime wedges on top for squeezing over.

Absolutely love it, it's my new favourite dish! And very quick to make too, which is always a bonus. I tweaked the recipe a bit, to suit my own taste - I doubled the amount of red curry paste to make it extra spicy, and used 'less salt' stock, so the base doesn't become too salty. I also doubled the coriander. Everything else I've done just like in the recipe. Next time I'm going to use seafood mix and add some veg - sugarsnaps or mangetouts, maybe soy shoots. I feel like this soup is a great base that can have lots of different ingredients added to mix things up :)

One I keep coming back to again and again. So warming and comforting! Like others we also add mange tout at the rice noodle stage to get some veg in.

Great little quick and easy recipe, super tasty! I prepared ours with sides of stir-fried vegetables and prawn crackers. Only aspect I'll try differently next time is to swap the vegetable stock to chicken, to add a layer of depth and even more flavour.

I increase the recipe to serve 5 and add mange tout, sugar snaps and baby corn and often add monkfish or scallops too. The kids adore this which makes it a pleasure to make, especially if I follow it with mango sorbet

I love this recipe for the Laksa base. I have found after making a few variations that the favourite in our house is to add baked salmon cut into chunks instead of the prawns (add it at the end after filling bowls so I can make sure we each have enough) and I also add sugersnap peas or mange tout to the broth at the same time as the noodles for extra bite! We now have this regularly in our house, its so quick and easy and has so much flavour. I also found dressing it with spring onions and parsley (partner isn't keen on coriander) gives it an extra bit of freshness.
